It will be helpful if we pause to\r\nconsider the world of A.D. 36, before beginning the fascinating\r\nstory of Joseph's landing in Britain with his companions and what\r\nfollowed.\r\n\r\n     Due to the historic discrepancies that commonly exist\r\nconcerning this era, it is important that one becomes familiar,\r\nif but slightly, with the histories of the peoples of the various\r\nnations who played an active part in the Christian drama. We\r\ncommonly find much confusion and misunderstanding caused by the\r\nrandom translation of names and places into the various languages\r\nthat then prevailed. Historians do not quote, or even refer, to\r\nthe language then spoken by the original Britons and Gauls.\r\nReference is generally given piecemeal from the Greek or Latin,\r\nwhich had not the slightest affinity with the Cymric tongue.\r\nPerhaps unwittingly, historians have been the worst offenders in\r\nerecting barriers to the truth, subscribing to the unsupportable\r\nbelief that Britain, for centuries before and after A.D. 36, was\r\nan island populated by wild savages, painted barbarians\r\ncompletely devoid of culture and religious conscience.\r\n     Nonchalantly, the reporters wrote off those majestic years\r\nas being steeped in myth, legend and folklore.\r\n     The strange distortion of ancient Britain is the most\r\nincredible paradox in history. One could be forgiven for thinking\r\nthat certain academic minds had deliberately entered into a joint\r\nconspiracy to defame the history of those islands and their\r\ninhabitants. It is not as though the truth were hidden. They had\r\nbut to read the classical histories of Rome, Greece and Gaul, as\r\ntheir course affected Britain, and compare notes with the early\r\nBritish Triads. It required but a mite of effort on their part to\r\nsearch the old church records and the stored tomes in the British\r\nMuseum Library and other libraries at hand, replete with concrete\r\nevidence contradicting the spurious writers. In addition,\r\nthousands of Cymric Triads and monastic documents exist,\r\nparticularly in the Vatican Library, as well as the historic\r\nversions of the earliest British historians, Celtic and Saxon. A\r\nfew enlightened historians did cast gleams of light on the truth,\r\nbut it was darkened and made obscure by the mass of irresponsible\r\nliterature foisted on the public.\r\n\r\n\r\n     Truth was lost in unbelievable error.\r\n     Strange as it may seem, it was the enemies of ancient\r\nBritain who wrote at length with candour the most faithful\r\ndescription of the early Britons, showing that they possessed an\r\nadmirable culture, a patriarchal religion, and an epochal history\r\nthat extended far beyond that of Rome. Modern writers also\r\nconfirm their testimony.\r\n     E. O. Gordon, in \"Prehistoric London,\" states that the city\r\nof London (Llandn) was founded two hundred and seventy years\r\nbefore Rome, in 1020 B.C.\r\n     The famed British archaeologist, Sir Flinders Petrie,\r\ndiscovered at Old Gaza gold ornaments and enamelware of Celtic\r\norigin, dated 1500 B.C., and in reverse found Egyptian beads at\r\nStonehenge.\r\n     The art of enamelling is early identified with Britain as is\r\nthe production of tin. The ancient Briton was the inventor of\r\nenamelling. He was so perfect in this craft that relics reposing\r\nin the British Museum, and the Glastonbury Museum, such as the\r\nfamous Glastonbury bowl (over two thousand years old), and the\r\nbeautiful Desborough mirror are as perfect as the day they were\r\nmade. They are magnificent examples of \"La Tene\" art, as the\r\nCeltic design is named, their geometric beauty and excellence\r\nbeing beyond the ability of modern craftsmen to duplicate.\r\n     In \"Early Britain,\" by Jacquetta Hawkes, page 32, we read\r\n\"These Yorkshire Celts, beyond all other groups, seem to have\r\nbeen responsible for establishing the tradition of La Tene art.\r\n... Nearly all the finest pieces are luxuries reflecting the\r\ntaste of warriors who enjoyed personal magnificence and the\r\ntrapping out of their wives and horses. Brooches to fasten the\r\nCeltic cloak, bracelets, necklaces, pins, hand mirrors, harness\r\nfittings, bits and horse armour, helmets, sword scabbards and\r\nshields were among the chief vehicles of La Tene art. They show\r\non the one hand strong plastic modelling, and on the other\r\ndecorative design incised, in low relief, or picked out in\r\ncoloured enamel. Both plastically and in the flat the Celtic work\r\nshows an extraordinary assurance, often a kind of wild delicacy,\r\nfar surpassing its Greek prototypes. In these the finest artists\r\nachieved a marvellous control of balanced symmetry in the design\r\nand equally in its related spaces.\"\r\n     S. E. Winbold, in Britain B.C., writes:\r\n\"The Celtic curvilinear art, circa 300 B.C. and of which the\r\nfamous Glastonbury bowl is a good example, reached its zenith\r\ndevelopment in Britain.\"\r\n     Roman testimony states that captive Britons taught the\r\nRomans the craft of enamelling.\r\n     Herodotus, father of profane history, circa 450 B.C., wrote,\r\nof the British Isles and its people, under the name of\r\nCassiterides, remarking on their talent in the metal industry.\r\nJulius Caesar, following his campaign in Britain, 55 B.c., wrote\r\nwith admiration of their culture, their sterling character,\r\ningenuity in commerce and craftsmanship. He refers in amazement\r\nto the number of populous cities, the architecture, universities\r\nof learning, the numerical population of England, and\r\nparticularly to their religion with its belief in the immortality\r\nof the soul.\r\n\r\n(Obviously the druids of Britain did not have all truth, they did\r\nhave false doctrine among many truths - the immortality of the\r\nsould being one of those false doctrines - Keith Hunt)\r\n\r\nMIGRATIONS\r\n\r\n     Ancient historians record the exploits of the Kimmerians-\r\nKimmerii-Keltoi-Kelts, in their migrations through Europe into\r\nBritain. Modern historians refer to their passage and somehow\r\nleave and lose them on the European continent. Yet modern\r\nethnologists have correctly charted their migrations from their\r\nancient source in the East to their final destination in Gaul and\r\nBritain, which were uninhabited before their arrival.\r\n     Archaeologists have uncovered their past from the Crimea to\r\nBritain as factually as they have substantiated the historic\r\nexistence of Babylon and Chaldea.\r\n     Long before they were known as Kimmerians, the prophet\r\nIsaiah addressed himself plainly to the inhabitants of \"The\r\nIsles\".\r\n     Why historians have mutilated the facts, submerging in myth\r\nand mystery the antiquity of Britain, is a tragedy that baffles\r\nthe mind.\r\n     While it is stated that the ancient Phoenician script is an\r\nancestor of our own, philologists assert that the Keltic or\r\nCymric tongue is the oldest living language. Its root words have\r\na basic affinity with ancient Hebrew. In making this statement it\r\nshould be pointed out that the original tongue of the Biblical\r\ncharacters had little association with modern Hebrew. The ancient\r\nlanguage was devoid of vowels. Modern Hebrew was not formulated\r\nuntil the sixth century. To the modern Jew, the original Hebrew\r\nis a lost tongue.\r\n\r\n(On visiting Wales today you will find in many stores things like\r\ntea-towels with the words on them \"Welsh, the oldest language in\r\nEurope\" - yes Europe not Britain. I talked to a Welshman and he\r\ntold me that if you could raise from the dead a Kelt from 500\r\nB.C. the two of them would speak and understand each other\r\nperfectly in the Welsh language - Keith Hunt)\r\n\r\n     In the Bible we read of Ezra bewailing the fact that his\r\nbrethren could not understand their native language and,\r\ntherefore, on their return to Jerusalem from the Babylonian\r\ncaptivity, 536 B.C., Ezra was obliged to read the law to them in\r\nthe Assyrio-Chaldean language.\r\n     Modern Hebrew is like Greek and Latin, a classical language.\r\nThe Jew of today reads and speaks in Yiddish, a conglomeration of\r\nseveral languages.\r\n     In the same manner as many modernists prate the dead, false\r\ntheory of evolution, the prejudiced, and uninformed continue to\r\nregard the ancient British language as a mixture of several,\r\nregardless of philologic contradiction.\r\n     Abundant proof exists today that the ancient language is\r\nstill alive. It is frequently spoken in Wales, Cornwall, Ireland,\r\nScotland. and in Brittany and Normandy. Available are many old\r\nBibles written in the Celtic languages. One of the most prominent\r\nScottish newspapers is published in the old tongue, and an\r\nadaptation of the Celtic is the official language of Eire.\r\n     It is interesting to know the important part the ancient\r\nlanguage played in World War I. When the Allied Command could\r\nfind no other method to prevent German Intelligence from\r\ndeciphering the Allied wire messages, it was Lloyd George,\r\nBritain's wartime Prime Minister, who suggested that the ancient\r\nlanguage, which he spoke fluently, be employed. Its use\r\ncompletely baffled German Intelligence, preventing further code\r\ninterception. This could not have been possible if the Cymric\r\ntongue was garbled. It had to be grammatically organized and\r\nintelligible.\r\n     Even today, nothing is more distorted than the modern\r\nhistories of world nations. They are either subject to political\r\nchauvinism, or glorified idolatry by super-patriots. The historic\r\ntruth seems to be unpopular. Reporters seem to revel in biased\r\nnational opinion, with an inclination to judge from the\r\nmaterialistic level of intelligence. Anything different is\r\nignorant, medieval or prejudiced. They tend to describe their own\r\nnative history according to their Party philosophy, ignoring its\r\ntransition in name and language from the past. They fail to\r\nrecognize the significant fact that language and geography is no\r\ncriterion of race. There is change in everything. Language\r\nchanges, so does the geographical habitation of people, but not\r\nrace. To evaluate the history of any race we must recognize the\r\nprogressive changes as they appear in language, religion, social\r\ncustom, and their adaptation to geographical residence. We must\r\never be on guard against the distorters, the irresponsible, the\r\ncharlatan and the atheist. Their warped minds are motivated by\r\nbigotry, prejudice, intolerance, religious and racial hatred.\r\nThey delight in destroying the champions of the truth. What they\r\ndo not understand they scofflingly label as tradition. Actually,\r\nthey do not understand the meaning of the word. To them it means\r\na myth. Disraeli eloquently said: \"A tradition can neither be\r\nmade nor destroyed.\"\r\n\r\n(Since 1961 when the author was puiblishing this work, what he\r\nsaid about historians was very correct. Since then historians\r\nhave had to admit historic truth they would not accept, so things\r\nhave changed, and British ancient history is now admitted to be\r\ncorrect as preserved by the Welsh and others - Keith Hunt)\r\n\r\n     A tradition is a truth, though garnished with degrees of\r\nexaggeration in the passage of time from repetitive retelling. It\r\ncan be clearly elucidated by separating the chaff from the wheat.\r\nThrough the common practice of generalizing we are prone to use\r\nterms loosely, which easily side-track us into forming faulty\r\nconclusions. Arising out of this habit we have come to generalize\r\nthe meaning of the word \"Christian\", insinuating that all\r\nfollowers of Jesus were known by that name from the beginning. In\r\nactual fact, the name \"Christian\" had not then been coined. It\r\nwas not created until years after His death. To the Judean, the\r\nGreek, and the Roman world, the early adherents to the new Gospel\r\nwere known as \"Followers of The Way\". Jesus had said, \"I am The\r\nWay.\" To all His devotees He was \"The Way\". In their devotions\r\nthey referred to Christ and His spiritual philosophy as \"The\r\nWay\".\r\n\r\nCULDEE\r\n\r\n     The title, \"Christian\", is claimed to have originated at\r\nAntioch, following the enthusiastic reception given to the\r\ndisciples who fled there in A.D. 36. It is nearer to the truth\r\nthat the inhabitants of this ancient city referred to the\r\nconverts as \"Little Christs\", and, \"Little men of Christ\". These\r\nlabels are by no means the correct interpretation of the name\r\n\"Christian\". The word is a composite of Greek and Hebrew.\r\n\"Christ\" is the Greek word meaning \"consecrated\", and \"ian\" is\r\nfrom the Hebrew word \"am\", meaning a person, or people.\r\nTherefore, the true meaning of the word \"Christian\" is\r\n\"consecrated people\".\r\n\r\n     Early ecclesiastics and historians definitely state that the\r\nword is of British origin. Philologists also support its claim to\r\nBritish invention; created by the British priesthood, among whom\r\nthe Christian movement gained its first and strongest impetus.\r\nSubstantiation is found in the statement by Sabellus, A.D. 250,\r\nwho wrote: \"The word Christian was spoken for the first time in\r\nBritain, by those who first received The Word, from the Disciples\r\nof Christ.\"\r\n\r\n     It is interesting to note that the Bethany group who landed\r\nin Britain, was never referred to by the British priesthood as\r\nChristians, nor even later when the name was in common usage.\r\nThey were called \"Culdees\", as were the other disciples who later\r\nfollowed the Josephian mission into Britain.\r\n     There are two interpretations given to the word \"Culdee\", or\r\n\"Culdich\", both words purely of the Celto--British language, the\r\nfirst meaning \"certain strangers\", and the other as explained by\r\nLewis Spence, who states that \"Culdee\" is derived from\r\n\"Ceile-De\", meaning, \"servant of the Lord\". In either case the\r\nmeaning is appropriate.\r\n     This title, applied to Joseph of Arimathea and his\r\ncompanions, clearly indicates that they were considered as more\r\nthan ordinary strangers. The name sets them apart as somebody\r\nspecial. In this case, since they arrived in Britain on a special\r\nmission with a special message, we can fairly accept the title\r\nmeant to identify them as \"certain strangers, servants of the\r\nLord\".\r\n     In the ancient British Triads, Joseph and his twelve\r\ncompanions are all referred to as Culdees, as also are Paul,\r\nPeter, Lazarus, Simon Zelotes, Aristobulus and others. This is\r\nimportant. The name was not known outside Britain and therefore\r\ncould only have been assigned to those who actually had dwelt\r\namong the British Cymri. The name was never applied to any\r\ndisciple not associated with the early British missions. Even\r\nthough Gaul was Celtic, the name was never employed there. In\r\nlater years the name Culdee took on an added significance,\r\nemphasizing the fact that the Culdee Christian Church was the\r\noriginal Church of Christ on earth. It became a title applied to\r\nthe church, and to its High Priests, persisting for centuries in\r\nparts of Britain, after the name had died out elsewhere in favour\r\nof the more popular name, Christian. Culdees are recorded in\r\nchurch documents as officiating at St. Peter's, York, until A.D.\r\n936. And, according to the Rev. Raine, the Canons of York were\r\ncalled Culdees as late as the reign of Henry II. In Ireland a\r\nwhole county was named Culdee, declared with emphasis when\r\nreference was heard at a court hearing in the seventeenth\r\ncentury, as to its laws. The name Culdee, and Culdich, clung\r\ntenaciously to the Scottish Church, and its prelates, much longer\r\nthan elsewhere.\r\n\r\n     Cambell writes in \"Reullura\":\r\n\r\n     The pure Culdees\r\n     were Alby's [Albion] earliest priests of God,\r\n     ere yet an island of her seas,\r\n     by foot of Saxon monk was trod.\r\n\r\nLANGUAGES AND GREEK\r\n\r\n     In the days of Christ the popular language of the East was\r\nGreek, more so than Roman. Aramaic and Hebrew were chiefly\r\nconfined to the Judeans. Jesus was, in all probability, fluent in\r\nAramaic, Hebrew, Greek and Latin. And, if what we are told is\r\nfactual, He was also versed in the Celtic language. The cultured\r\npeople of the Roman province of Palestine were conversant with\r\nGreek, Hebrew and Latin.\r\n     The Septuagint translation of the Old Testament was written\r\nin Greek at Alexandria, 285 B.C. It is interesting to note that\r\nthis work was compiled by seventy Jewish scholars, and not Greek,\r\nas was generally supposed.\r\n     Centuries before Christ, the Greek-language was well known\r\nto the ancient British, from commercial association with the\r\nPhoenicians, Greek tin traders and sailors. Julius Caesar tells\r\nus that the Druids employed the Greek script in all their\r\ncommercial transactions. \r\n\r\nTIN ISLAND\r\n\r\nAt this particular period of British history, the island was more\r\ncommonly referred to by its industry than by its British name.\r\nKnown as the Cassiterides, meaning \"Tin Island\", it was for many\r\ncenturies the only country in the world where tin was mined and\r\nrefined, Aristotle, 350 B.C. is one of the first writers to name\r\nBritain, the \"Tin Islands\". Herodotu uses the name earlier, circa\r\n450 B.C. (Bk.3:115).\r\n     Julius Caesar writes of his visit to the famous Spanish tin\r\nmine at Talavera, 50 B.C. Many centuries before tin was\r\ndiscovered at Talavera the tin trade flourished in Britain. In\r\nfact, Spanish history tells of a close association with Cornwall\r\nand it appears that the Spanish Government sought the skilled\r\nminers of Cornwall, to instruct them in obtaining the wolfram and\r\nin constructing the mines. Many Cornish names appear in Talaveran\r\ntin mining history of men who were instructors, superintendents,\r\noverseers and foremen and experts in assaying the rock. Proof of\r\nBritish superiority in the tin industry and its affluent\r\nworld-wide trade is referred to by Herodotus 450 B.C., Pytheas\r\n353 B.C., Aristotle 350 B.C., Polybius 150 B.C., Diodorus\r\nSiculus, Posidonius and others, most of whom wrote long before\r\nthe Christian era. Each deals at length with the British tin\r\nindustry in Cornwall and Devon, explaining the paths of\r\ntransportation from Britain, overland and by sea to the various\r\nports on the Mediterranean and elsewhere in the known world of\r\nthat time.\r\n     The ancient ships of biblical Tarshish were the first\r\nnavigators to transport tin and lead from Britain to the nations\r\nof the empiric world. Their navy controlled the seas and later\r\nbecame known in history as the Phoenicians. The tin that\r\ngarnished the splendour of the Palace of Solomon, 1005 B.C., was\r\nmined and smelted into ingots at Cornwall and thence shipped by\r\nthe Phoenicians to Palestine.\r\n     Creasy, the eminent British historian, in his \"History of\r\nEngland,\" writes: \"The British mines mainly supplied the glorious\r\nadornment of Solomon's temple.\"\r\n     For many years the Phoenicians held a monopoly on the\r\ntransportation of British tin over the sea lanes. They guarded\r\ntheir secret jealously. It is well known that when followed by\r\nother seacraft, seeking to learn the source of their trade, their\r\nmariners would deliberately strike a false course, and in\r\nextremity would purposely wreck their vessel. This sacrifice was\r\nreimbursed out of the Phoenician treasury. For confirmation of\r\nthis it is interesting to quote Strabo, who died A.D. 25\r\n\"Anciently the Phoenicians alone, from Cadis, engrossed this\r\nmarket, hiding the navigation from all others. When the Romans\r\nfollowed the course of a vessel that they might discover the\r\nsituation, the jealous pilot wilfully stranded the ship,\r\nmisleading those who were tracing him to the same destruction.\r\nEscaping from shipwreck, he was indemnified for his losses out of\r\nthe public treasury.\"\r\n     The Phoenicians of Carthage were more, successful. Anxious\r\nto share in the trade of Cadis, an expedition under Hamilco\r\npassed the Straits about 450 B.C., and sailing to the north,\r\ndiscovered the Tin Island.\r\n     Ptolemy and Polybius, vigorously support Diodorus, writing\r\nof the friendliness of the people of Cornwall and of Dammonia,\r\nwhich was the name then applied to Devon. These locales were\r\nwhere the tin mining chiefly existed. In the making of bronze,\r\ntin was the main alloy. Thus it can be safely said that the\r\nBronze Age had its inception in Britain. Knowledge of this fact\r\nalone is sufficient to refute all malicious insinuation that the\r\nancient Britons were barbarian.\r\n\r\n(Most historians today agree that B.C. Britain was FAR from\r\nbarbarianism - Keith Hunt)\r\n\r\n     By necessity, to excel in mining and smelting tin and lead,\r\nto be proficient in casting metal, and expert in enamelling, a\r\npeople must be intelligent in the science of minerology and\r\nmetallurgy.\r\n     The world-wide demand for these precious metals beat a sea\r\nlane to Britain's shores, bringing its inhabitants in close\r\ncontact with the ancient powers. Consequently, it is quite\r\nunderstandable why the British, with the foundation of their own\r\nlanguage steeped in ancient Hebrew, and their knowledge of Greek,\r\ncould be responsible for coining the word \"Christian\". Also, we\r\ncan understand why many of the oldest landmarks in this area of\r\nBritain abound in Hebrew names.\r\n(Many have seen the connection between Welsh and ancient Hebrew\r\nlanguages - either of them used vowels - and the pronouncing of\r\nwords had to be handed down from generation to generation. So\r\ntoday nobody can pronounce Welsh unless you are verbally taught\r\nas it contains no vowels - Keith Hunt)\r\n\r\n     The association of Joseph of Arimathea with the tin industry\r\nin Cornwall is positive. Fragments of poems and miners' songs,\r\nhanded down through the centuries, make frequent reference to\r\nJoseph. It has long been customary for the miners to shout when\r\nthey worked, \"Joseph was a tin man\", \"Joseph was in the tin\r\ntrade.\"\r\n     These were their chief trade slogans which identified Joseph\r\nas a prominent person in the British tin industry.\r\n\r\nKELTS\r\n\r\n     At the time of our story, the islanders were known racially\r\nas Kelts, derived from their historical racial name Kimmerian-\r\nKimmerii-Kymry-Keltoi-Kelt. The letter 'C' began to substitute\r\nthe letter 'K' in spelling the name, but the pronunciation is the\r\nsame. Even in those remote times the name Kelt took on a\r\ndifferent enunciation and spelling, arising out of native patois.\r\nThen, as today, we find the descendants of this ancient people in\r\nEngland and Wales referred to as Celts, the inhabitants of\r\nHibernia - Ireland - as Kelts, Gaels, in Scotland and the people\r\nof Gaul, now France, as Gauls - Gallic. Ethnically they are all\r\nthe same people. The meaning of the word in each case is\r\n\"stranger\", indicating that a Celt, Kelt, Gael or a Gaul were\r\nstrangers to the land in which they dwelt, not an aborigine as\r\nsome would have us suppose. It is important to note, though they\r\nwere strangers to the land, they were its first settlers,\r\nsecuring their new homeland in peace, and not with the sword,\r\nsince there were no people to conquer.\r\n\r\n(Brutus the Trojon from the city of Troy - the famous Troy\/Greek\r\nwars - came with his band of settlers to Britain about 1100 B.C.\r\nand were its first permenant settlers. The Trojons were from the\r\nhouse of Judah, they left the tribe of Judah and settled the city\r\nof Troy - Keith Hunt)\r\n\r\n     They were truly colonizing strangers in a virgin land.\r\nWe know they were strangers to Britain and Gaul, though very\r\nancient, but, like a silver thread woven in a dark woof we can\r\ntrace their wanderings as one people from their original homeland\r\nbeyond the Euphrates river, for over three thousand years B.C. to\r\ntheir new domicile in the Mystic Isles, and in Gaul.\r\n     Francois Guizot, the authoritative French historian in his\r\n\"Histoire de la Civilisation en France,\" writes: \"The Gauls, or\r\nCelts, had the honour of giving their name FIRST to this land.\"\r\nThe name of the Gaul persisted until about the middle of the\r\nfifth century, when the Gothic Franks, under the leadership of\r\nMeroveus, invaded, and settled the land, displacing the Gaul in\r\nnumbers and in name.\r\n     The national name \"France\" is derived from the tribal name\r\nof Frank, meaning \"Freeman\". Yet, the Gaul left his impress on\r\nthe land in his co-British name in the first province he founded.\r\nToday it is still known by its original ancient name - Brittany.\r\nAt one time the Continent had been land-locked with Britain,\r\nuntil a natural upheaval caused the present separation. Evidently\r\nfor a considerable length of time the separation was not too\r\nwidely marked. In the ancient Druidic Triads we read of a Gaulish\r\nbishop, walking over the divide across a plank as he journeyed\r\nfrom Gaul to pay the annual tithe to the mother Druidic Church in\r\nBritain.\r\n     Despite the washing of the lands by the seas for many\r\ncenturies, the distance between Dover and Calais today is only\r\ntwenty-four miles.\r\n     Separated, the island became geographically known as\r\nBritain, and the nearby Continental section as Gaul.<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>continue reading<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/watchman.news\/2021\/12\/drama1-html\/\">Drama of Jesus\u2019 Disciples to Britain #1 \u2013 Page One<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/watchman.news\/2021\/12\/drama3-html\/\">Drama of Lost Disciples #3 \u2013 Page Three<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
